Sean O'Keeffe2012-08-15http://www.thejournal.ie/profile/49381/in-state-itself-liable-million-pmpa-wall-553903/In 1983, the state found itself liable for €10 million when PMPA went to the wall.
In 1985, €120 million when the Insurance Corporation of Ireland folded.
In 2012, €1.6 billion due to irregularities at Quinn direct.
Does the state really have any business underwriting insurance companies?

Quinn direct was, annually, given a clean bill of health by PricewaterhouseCoopers. The same company that gives the government paid advise on the banks and other matters.
A report issued in December 2008 on AngloIrish bank concluded with this:

“Under the PwC highest stress scenario, Anglo’s core equity and tier 1 ratios are projected to exceed regulatory minima (Tier 1 – 4%) at 30 September 2010 after taking account of operating profits and stressed impairments … We used an independent firm of property valuers (Jones Lang LaSalle) to value a sample of 160 properties held as security in relation to the top 20 land & development exposures on Anglo’s books as identified in our Phase II review and report. The results of this work indicated that impairment charges over the period FY09 to FY11 would fall in a range between the two PwC impairment scenarios but closer PwC’s lower impairment scenario.”

sam2012-08-16http://www.thejournal.ie/profile/47103/i-actually-watched-programme-night-why-comments-hours-554389/I actually watched the programme to night which is why my comments are been made two hours after the programme as opposed to most of the negative comments which have been posted two hours before the programme was actually aired.
Aoife & Stephen have raised some very serious questions tonight, which as a tax payer and holder of a number of insurance policies I would very much like to hear answers to.
I for one will certainly be asking my local TD is there an element of truth in the allegations made.
As I understand it, if the Quinn’s are correct (in law) we are going to have hundreds of billions of compensation to pay out.
Does anyone in Government realise this, does Alan Dukes understand what all these foreign bankers and advisers are risking.
Am I going to have to pay for their ego trip?

Would it be ludicrous to ask The Journal to verify the identities of people who post on here BEFORE allowing the posts to be published? I feel that many comments cannot be taken seriously when the identity and/or agenda behind the comments are questionable and unverified. Whilst I enjoy reading the vast majority of the comments, and have done for some time, I am now at the stage where I feel this site is being used by people at either side of whatever argument to push their views without having the courage of their convictions to stand behind those comments publicly. What we are left with are faceless commentators whose views cannot be taken seriously. As an addendum, while I have no proof, I have a strong gut instinct that some of the posters on here are paid PR professionals under assumed names. IF this is the case, I would have 2 pieces of advice for them: 1: Read and learn both the Code of Athens & the Code of Lisbon and adhere to them, or alternatively, 2: Find another career outside of PR work as there are many within the field who work extremely hard to rid the profession of derogatory terms such as ‘Spin Doctors’. I’m quite sure the PRII would take a strong view on this also?

I don’t want to engage in a public debate about the issue or repeated ad nauseam what I said already , my point was that the crux of Quinn role in the saga was he bought shares in Anglo on CFDs , he had to cover the losses , he illegally took company funds to cover the losses and was fined and removed from Quinn Uns as Charrman for that , the courts have ruled on his contempt and so far he’s most the empire as a result , the remaining anglo ruling may go his way and actually I feel pretty well informed on the saga despite the condescending attitude of some that we are all clueless. Now I don’t wish to engage in an ongoing debate with you fellas on Quinn , the up island has way too many serious problems effecting sick old and poor for me to be that concerned for a billionaire who lost his riches gambling on shares.

I just feel that if someone feels that strongly on an issue that they should stand behind a comment then they make. It would actually strengthen the argument being made. People should either post as themselves on these forums or not bother as all that happens is the forum becomes overwhelmed by fake posters spouting whatever they ant on whatever subject they want thus rendering the whole process useless and turning genuine people off the website. Once credibility is lost it is extremely difficult to regain and I hope the journal can see this.
